早年经历

The Ting Tings，一个由两个人组成的英国独立流行音乐组合。他们在2007年电视转播的英国格拉斯顿伯里音乐节（Glastonbury Festival）上的出色表现，在流行乐坛上拥有了一批专注的拥护者，代表作品《That's Not My Name》在上榜首周就获得了英国单曲榜冠军。

Katie White 的首次亮相，是在她还是个少女时，在一个女孩组合TKO - short forTotal Knock Out。这支乐队，由Katie White 和她两个朋友共同组成。他们的演出资助，像Steps and Five那样，但绝不是签约一张唱片或者发行一张专辑的。Jules De Martino 的音乐之路是从一个年轻的，名为Babakoto的乐队开始的，并且在1987年推出了首支单曲《Just To Get By》。在Babakoto解散之后，De Martino 加入了一直独立的摇滚乐队“Mojo Pin”。Mojo Pin共发行了两首单曲，分别是在1995年时的《You》，和1996年时的《My Imagination》。

在 White还没有离开TKO前，他和她就认识了。几个月后，在他们彼此的了解后，诞生了那个发行Mercury Records了的组合“Dear Eskiimo”。但是，因为一些创作理念的不同和管理方式的原因，他们解散了。

这些早期的经历，让White和De Martino 更加坚定的，走上了这条音乐的道路，所以，当他们成立The Tings Tings 乐队时，都是独立的演出在The Mill, Salford，甚至到他们最后的一场，在 Manchester party scene 演出，变的一票难求。就像多样的A&R reps 和 record producers，以及为Red Hot Chili Peppers 和 Johnny Cash工作的American Rick Rubin 都来找他们的票。

他们在Glastonbury Festival 2007带来了一场完美的演出，并在2007年10月，随后The Ting Tings带着他们的音乐开始登陆美国，沿着美国的海岸开始一系列的巡演，为Columbia Records这张专辑进行签售，于同年的12月14日，现身于Holland。

他们的首支单曲《That's Not My Name》和他们的第二首单曲《Fruit Machine》，在British电台，一起滚动播放，就像独立音乐一样。《Fruit Machine》是一个限量版的，发行在只有500张的七寸专辑《Legendre Starkie Records》，并且只有在乐队在Salford的slington Mill, Islington的Eleckrowerkz, Berlin的West Germany，Brooklyn的Glasslands, New York City 这些地方的演出时，才有销售。12月发行单曲《Fruit Machine》。

The Ting Tings are an English musical duo from Salford, Greater Manchester, formed in 2007. The band consists of Katie White (vocals, guitar, bass drums, bass guitar, cowbells) and Jules De Martino (drums, lead guitar, bass guitar, vocals, piano).

Background and formation

Katie White started her music career as a school-time hobby in a girl group punk trio TKO—short for Technical Knock Out—with two friends from Lowton School, Marion Grethe Seaman and Emma Lally. The band had minimal success, once sharing the same stage as the bands Steps and Atomic Kitten. While De Martino was in Manchester, the pair bumped into each other and discovered they had a mutual love of Portishead. De Martino relocated to Islington Mill Studios (the Mill) in the Salford, Greater Manchester area.The pair, along with friend Simon Templeman, went on to form the Portishead-influenced trio Dear Eskiimo, who signed to Mercury Records. However, due to a change of directors and managers, the management style of the record label caused them to split. The experience left White and De Martino with a distrust of the music industry.

White was a bartender at the Mill while De Martino produced tracks for various artists therein. The pair developed their sound from influences of performers at the Mill, and were inspired to form their own group, "The Ting Tings". "Ting Ting" was the name of a Chinese colleague of White at a shop, who told her that it sounded like the pronunciation of "bandstand" in Mandarin (亭).The band researched the name and found it to also mean the "sound of innovation on an open mind"

Having created three songs, the band's first gig was a free-beer invite all at the Mill in their rented dwelling called "the Engine House". Subsequent gigs were funded on donations, and after their third gig they were name-checked on XFM.The Islington Mill gigs ended up as some of the most sought-after tickets on the Manchester party scene with various A&R reps and record producers, such as Rick Rubin, asking for tickets.

Career

The duo's debut studio album, ‘We Started Nothing’, was released on 19 May 2008 by Columbia Records and peaked at number one on the UK Albums Chart.The album spawned four singles, including "That's Not My Name", which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart in May 2008. Their second studio album, ‘Sounds from Nowheresville’, was released in February 2012, with the lead single "Hang It Up" released on 16 January 2012. The band went to Ibiza in September 2012 to begin writing and recording material for their third studio album, which they worked on through in April 2013.They travelled to New York City to mix and master the album in September 2013. In October 2013, the band stated they had nearly finished mixing their third album and were planning to record numerous music videos. They released a club remix of the first single, "Wrong Club" through SoundCloud in April 2014; the single was released to download in July. The duo's third studio album, ‘Super Critical’, was released in October 2014.

The band performed in Illinois on June 18,2015.

The band will perform in Andalusia,Spain in September 2016.
